Camouflage netting for aircraft

One
of the things I started during our LRDG-terrain weekend, a
camouflage/sunscreen for one of the parked planes to be used as targets in our
LRDG-scenario.

The
frame was built with plastic I-beams and tubes, painted Citadel Chainmail and
coated with Army Painter Strong Tone Ink. The netting is gauze dipped in a mix
of paint, white glue and water, let dry a bit and draped over the frame. When
it dried it was stiff and kept its shape.

Hey, it works, too. The plane is nearly
invisible, it only the LRDG came from the air…

My rating system

5 - A masterpiece. You have to read/see/visit.4 - Really good. Strongly recommended it if it is a subject of interest, and probably worth reading/seeing/visiting if not.3 – It’s OK. If it’s a subject you’re interested in, it’s probably worth reading/seeing/visiting. Otherwise you can probably skip it.2 - Well, not really... If it’s your subject you could possibly find something in it worth your while. Otherwise stay clear.1 - Stay clear. This is a waste of your time.
